At 6 ft 3½ in tall (1.92 m) and possessing a deep voice, he is often typecast in roles of villains, such as Lex Luthor in Superman: The Animated Series and later in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited.

Brown has also had many guest appearances on various television shows including Star Trek: Enterprise and ER. He also had a recent appearance on Lost as Kelvin Inman, an American officer during Desert Storm who convinced Sayid, a soldier of the Republican Guard, to torture his commanding officer — and was later found to be a member of the The DHARMA Initiative stationed at “The Swan” with Desmond. His best known starring television role before Carnivàle was that of John Danzinger on Earth 2. He played former baseball player (and investment scam mark) Rudy Blue on The Riches.

Beginning in 2000, he regularly played the roles of Captain Black and Ratso on Jackie Chan Adventures and occasionally took on the role of the talisman animated moose doll known as Super Moose.
